Battle of the Catalaunian Plains, 451 (ALL PARTS) ️ The man who defeated Attila the Hun DOCUMENTARY

"accused her of trying to poison him, cut off her nose and ears". how easy was to scheme and go unpunished back then

really not very accurat if you read the few reliable historical sources

Aetius: I never thought I'd die fighting side by side with a Barbarian
Thorismund: What about side by side with a friend?
Aetius: Aye, I could do that.

Merovech was here no?

So Attila had such a bad reputation on eastern Rome when he suddenly came to the west with what he thought was a decent demand every player on the west was afraid of the realisation that Atilla appeared over here now 😂

Aetius will said f you , Attila while Attila said come to me , my children 😂😂😂😂

The anniversary of the battle was just a few days ago...😢

Age of Empires 2 Intro:
'And now,' said Father Armand, 'is where I entered the story.'

The battle between Hun and Roman was fought at the end of June, 451. The Romans were commanded by Aetius, a brilliant and celebrated general who had been held hostage by the Huns when he was a boy. Aetius knew Attila and he knew the Hunnic ways. Since he had returned to the Western Empire, Aetius had done more than any man to keep Rome alive throughout the period of barbarian invasions.

His army was not large enough to face Attila alone, so Aetius convinced tribes of the Alans and Visigoths to ally with him. Even though these dubious allies had a common hatred of the Huns, it was still a remarkable achievement on Aetius' part to have drawn them into a effective military relationship.

The Huns were eager for battle. Attila's shamans looked at the entrails of cattle and the color of sheep bones, and prophesized that the Huns would meet defeat on the Catalaunian Fields. However, they also foresaw that the commander of the opposing force would be killed.

Attila must have though this a fair trade, because he brought battle to Aetius and the Goths.

Before blood was drawn, Attila stood before his assembled troops clutching the sword of Mars in his fist. He told them, 'It is a right of nature to glut the soul with vengeance. I shall hurl the first spear at the foe. If any man can stand at rest while Attila fights, he is a dead man.'

Age of Empires 2 Outro:
It was a catastrophic battle, one of the largest and greatest the world has ever seen. The stream was turned into a torrent by the rushing of blood. I pity those that were forced to slake their thirst from it. 'Cadavero vero innumera', the Romans said afterwards. 'Truly countless bodies.' Perhaps 300,000 men were left dead on the Catalaunian Fields. It is said the ghosts of those killed continued to fight for several days.

I passed within inches of the fell Hun king as he stalked the battlefield, trying to determine which of his chieftains and allies yet lived. When he found me, huddled beneath my shield, I made my peace with God. But Attila did not seek my decapitation. He saw that I was a holy man, and ordered me to join his retinue of foreign advisors. 'That is how you know so much of the Huns,' I offered.

The priest nodded. Despite the carnage, the outcome of the legendary battle was unclear. Attila had lost much of his cavalry, but the Roman army would never recover from its losses. For a time, no one knew if the Hunnic king would continue to pursue the hand of Honoria. 'But what of the prophecy?' I asked. 'Did Aetius die on the battlefield?'

'Nay. It was Theodoric the Goth, not Aetius, who died and fulfilled the prophecy. Aetius knew that if he utterly destroyed the Huns, then the Visigoths would have no need for a Roman alliance and Rome would face yet another barbarian threat.

And so, Aetius retired from military life, hoping that the outcome of the Catalaunian Fields would leave the Huns and Goths in a stalemate. He hoped he had done enough to save his empire. He had not.

you have left an important detail probably by choice that " Attila sacked Rome and had meeting with Pope, Instead of a Roman princes, he was given a Roman noble woman to marry " And on his wedding night allegedly his new Roman wife poisoned him to death "

Аеtius is the real governor or ruler of his land, he did whatever needed to secure the place he controlled

Just awesome.

Battle of the Catalaunian never happened .learn a proper Hungarian History ,by dr.Obrusánszki Borbála,dr.Bárdi László,dr.Kiszeli István..

This is so boring.

Forget Mulan, Disney should have made a movie based on this guy!

I can't believe there used to be men who walked back and forth across Europe looking for people to fight.. "Hey, there's a lot of armed guys coming over the river waaay up north. Wanna go fight em? I'll pay you like 50$"
"lets do it. Hopefully we can be back by harvesting summer, because if I survive marching across Europe, fighting in hand to hand combat, and starvation, I'd like to then harvest my towns crops".

People really were built different then.

What are the random black bars about or is it just me?

Acc to Sir Edward Creasy, Atilla killed his brother Bleda in order to surpass the fratricide of Romulus against Remus 12 centuries before the date of his invasion. This demonic, mystical aspect of Atilla (and Rome really) is a large part to consider the psychological importance of the Hunnic invasion

Me when I realise that Buda was translated to "Bleda" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Did Aetius try to fight Attila when Attila invaded northern Italy? Also, did Attila lose any other battles besides Catalaunian plains?

Aetius was a poison

Bro took if you can't beat em, then join em to the whole next level 😂😂

chad aecius >>>>>> gayhuns

Atilla is Türk ❤🎉

Türkçe altyazı lütfen 😢

East Rome in the beginning video: "Oh f***, oh f***, OH F***"

West Rome: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Takeaway frpm the story: ROMA INVICTA

The day you realize the relationship between Xiongnu, Huns and Gokturks, you will understand that Huns are definitely Turks. They are all the continuation of each other, Huns established a steppe federation and of course there would be Mongols and Persians. But the majority of the army and the administration are ethnically Turks. Do your research from objective sources instead of biased ones.

Aetius reminds me of tywin lannister with all this poltical scheming.

Thanks!

I think I remember watching how the fall of the Roman Empire played out on Barbarians Rising on History Channel. Valentinian may have murdered his own mother after he killed Aetius. And while he was going somewhere, some bodyguards surrounded Valentinian, and his final words were as follows: "What are you doing?" And then the bodyguards just stabbed him.

Nice content but pictures you chose sucks

Sun doesn't set at 7pm on June 20 in that part of the world dude.

Contrary to popular belief, including the AI bot, most of Attila's soldiers were infantry. It's a matter of remounts. (See Ferrill, The Fall of the Roman Empire: the military explanation.) They could only have had 15,000 cavalry (as opposed to horses) at any one time. Did Attila ever come to Britain? The only source for part of his reign says he was subduing 'the isles of the ocean'. Also, for all his 'management skills' he doesn't seem to have been all that successful.

Huns, like Mongols and Timurids were just hungry locusts that were eventually squished!

I'll proudly say my ancestor, Merovech, a Salian Frankish king and the Merovingian dynasty's namesake, was at that battle as a part of the Roman coalition to defeat the Huns! Who knows what would've happened if it weren't for Flavius Aetius to unite everyone! Merovech and his forefathers definitely fought the Romans quite a bit, but I'm glad he helped to keep the Roman Empire alive just a little bit longer. His descendant and another one of my ancestors, Charles Martel, saved Europe from the Muslims at the Battle of Tours, and I'm so thankful my ancestral history of protecting Europe didn't happen any other way!

Goddamn. I both love to listen to Roman conquest, and hate all of the weak backstabbing snakes that only eroded the Roman empire

Mean Valentines just sitting there waiting on the Empire falling apart.

I have never had such strong feelings over small colored squares.

Rome went on for another 1000 years. It was ruled from Constantinople.

Some historians say,kutriguri,onoguri huns,others kutriguri and onoguri bulgars?Where was Patria Onoguria and Old great Bulgaria?Who are bulgars?

This battle is epecially interesting when compared to the great Italian defeat at Sentinum about 750 years earlier. A large coalition gathered to try and defeat the Romans and contain them to central Italy. Before the 80k force could come together, the Romans sent another army to ravage some of their lands, reducing the opposing army about half, which the Romans were much more willing to fight, and were victorious. Here the Romans are on the opposite side of that dynamic, desperate to hold together a loose coalition against a much stronger foe and their allies, and they barely force a stalemate.

Can you imagine how big of a pile Attila the Hun had of gold?

🚩 The Battle of the Catalaunian Plains, (AD 451), battle fought between the Huns under Attila and a mixed Roman and Visigoth force under Aetius and Theodoric I; checked the Hunnic advance in Europe. The battle, long-remembered for its ferocity, resulted in Attila’s defeat, though the casualty figures in traditional accounts are probably exaggerated. The Huns’ defeat prevented the widespread destruction and spoliation of Gaul, but it is unlikely that Attila’s horde could have made any deep impression upon the Latin and urban character of the country.
